FVV needs to be gone. Dillon needs to be kept if possible. Tari's injury concern is real and Amen is going to be starting, probably at guard. SF depth is critical.
people simply need to stop comparing Amen to Marion and AK47 Matrix 25 yrs old 48% on 2 pointers +0.7 BPM AK47 22 yrs old 55% on 2 pointers -0.5 BPM Klaw 22 yrs old 56% on 2 pointers +6.1 BPM Giannis 22 yrs old 51% on 2 pointers +2.4 BPM Amen 21 yrs old 72% on 2 pointers +11.6 BPM
I mean, both Marion and AK47 were all-stars, multiple times in the top 5 for DPOY voting (for some reason Marion never made all-defense). Marion was a 22 and 12 guy on 52% / 33% shooting in the top 10 for MVP voting during his best season. It's not an insult to compare Amen to them. As far as BPM goes, let's keep in mind that Amen is playing on a better team than either of those guys did at age 22 and he's playing an offensive role that's really conducive to racking up the stats that count for that metric (rim-running dunker). All this is not to say I'm not a massive fan of Amen's game, I was one of the first onboard with drafting him and I think he's already surpassed JG and Jabari and is challenging Sengun for the title of "best of our young core". I think his ceiling could literally be winning MVP awards. Just saying, I wouldn't be upset if he turned out to be Marion with better passing. That's a great player, borderline HOF-caliber.
